Often billed as Germany’s most beautiful town, Bamberg promises a gorgeous collection of medieval buildings lining the banks of the River Main. A highlight of any trip to Bavaria, this destination is enormously popular with both German and international travellers — as is reflected in the burgeoning array of great accommodation options. Many of the best places to stay in Bamberg are restored heritage residences, with some very romantic little hotels set within the UNESCO-listed Old Town.
Begin your explorations at the magnificent 13th-century cathedral, before visiting the glorious Alte Hofhaltung and the Neue Residenz with its spectacular rose gardens — both are historic residences of the Bishops of Bamberg. The Historisches Museum, in the Alte Hofhaltung, offers a real insight into the town’s richly layered past; guided walking tours also come highly recommended. Other Bamberg highlights include the Michaelsburg Abbey, Little Venice and the old Rathaus.
Come afternoon or evening, make for the riverbanks, where you’ll find bustling bars and eateries, as well as sunset boat trips aplenty. Bamberg is deservedly famous for its distinctive smoked beer — not to be missed!
